However, in order for this option to be enabled, you'd need to be building a pre-ARMv6 kernel with SMP support. There is only one system known which fits that, which is an early ARM SMP FPGA implementation based on the ARM926T. In any case, the Kconfig does not allow SMP to be enabled for pre-ARMv6 systems.

ARM: 8226/1: cacheflush: get rid of restarting block

We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
 * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
 * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
   process has to use the same range again
 * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever

So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.
